ON THE WAY: Ben Davies looks set to seal a move to White Hart Lanein the near future [GETTY ]

Swansea have been in contact with the north London club for several weeks regarding the transfer and are believed to be close finalising the deal.

The 21 year old has impressed over the last two seasons at Swansea becoming a first team regular and new Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino appears to have identified Davies as the man to fix the troublesome left back spot.

Davies is apparently keen to follow in the footsteps of his countryman Gareth Bale and make the move to White Hart Lane.

Tottenham, who remain the only Premier League club yet to make a signing in this transfer window, have made the left back position a priority after spending much of last season with Jan Vertonghen covering for the injured Danny Rose.

Pochettino and his squad are in Seattle preparing to kick off their pre-season tour of the United States whilst Swansea are about to end their own tour of the US after their freindly against Chivas on Wednesday night in Milwaukee in which Davies played 45 minutes.
